[arch-dev-public] Upgrading to ntp-dev

[Gaetan Bisson]

Hi all,

The ntp-stable branch last saw a release in 2011. If there are no
objections, I'll switch our ntp package to the ntp-dev branch, where all
development effort (new features, bug fixes) has happened since.
Upstream considers ntp-dev semi-stable (with unstable being the daily
snapshots).

What prompted me to do this is the recent ntp-based DoS [1]; it's
currently only fixed in ntp-dev [2] although we are currently fine with
the default ntp.conf shipped in our package because of the "noquery"
option.
